[Verse]
 
B                    D#7
  So who's that girl there?
  Emaj7
I wonder what went wrong
             D#m
So that she had to roam the streets
    Emaj7
She don't do major credit cards
  D#m
I doubt she does receipts
             C#m               C#m F# E D#m C#m D#m
It's all not quite legitimate
 
B                   D#7
  And what a scummy man
     Emaj7
Just give him half a chance
             D#m
I bet he'll rob you if he can
    Emaj7
Can see it in his eyes, yeah
          D#m
That he's got a driving ban
             C#m             C#m F# E D#m C#m D#m
Amongst some other offences
 
 
[Bridge]
 
G#m                        D#m
    And I've seen him with girls of the night
    G#m                    D#m
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
G#m                           D#m
    They're all infected but he'll be alright
              C#m          D#m        E7  F#7
'Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
                                 Bm
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

[Verse]
 
(no guitar, bass only)
Although you're trying not to listen
I bet your eyes are staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
I'm sorry love, I'll have to turn you down
 
G              F#           Bm
Oh, he must be up to summat
G             F#                 Bm
What are the chances, sure it's more than likely
G             F#                 Bm
I've got a feeling in my stomach
G             F#                 Bm
I start to wonder what his story might be
G             F#        Bm
What his story might be
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em           F#m              Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
      Em           F#m              Bm
Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down
    Em           F#m              Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
   Em    F#m   Bm
Around here
   A   F#
Around here
 
(Riff x4, 4th time with different ending)
 
 
[Verse]
 
G              F# (v2)            Bm
And look here comes a Ford Mondeo
G              F# (v2)            Bm
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous
G              F# (v2)            Bm
And he don't have to say 'owt
G              F# (v2)            Bm
She understands she's here to get picked up
G              F# (v2)            Bm
And she's delighted when she sees him
G              F# (v2)            Bm
Pulling in and giving her the eye
G              F# (v2)            Bm
Because she must be fucking freezing
G              F# (v2)            Bm
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
G              F# (v2)            Bm
She don't stop in the winter, no and...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em           F#m              Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
    Em           F#m              Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
    Em           F#m              Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
   Em    F#m   Bm
Around here
Em           F#m              Bm
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Em       F#m          Bm
Over the river, going out of town
    Em           F#m              Bm
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
   Em    F#m   Bm
Around here
   A       F#
Around ... here, oh
 
 
[Outro]
 
B                 D#7
  What a scummy man
     Emaj7
Just give him half a chance
            D#m
I bet he'll rob you if he can
    Emaj7                               D#m
Can see it in his eyes, yeah, that he's got a nasty plan
              C#m             D#m  E7  F#7
I hope you're not involved at all
